You should try as below :-

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(Driver, 60);

//wait until loader invisible
wait.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("loaderDiv")));

//this sleep is required because after invisibility of loader focus goes to first input which is Requisition Number
//If you are filling form from first input no need to for this sleep
//if you want to input directly to client field need to sleep to avoid focus first  
Thread.sleep(3000);

//Now find the client input and set value
WebElement client = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("client")));
client.sendKeys("Ho");

//Now find all the showing option   
List<WebElement> dropdownOptions = wait.until(ExpectedConditions.presenceOfAllElementsLocatedBy(By.cssSelector("ul.dropdown-menu a")));

//Now select the first option
dropdownOptions.get(0).click();

Thank you for the code. It works fine but now I've tried the same thing in next field and unable to find the element. In the above code, you've selected "CSS Selector" that you have selected from the code, right?

@ajaykumar Yes, May be there are some different selector would work, try to identify the locator..:)

Thank you, so the scenario is: 1. Without selecting client we cannot select facility as its disabled. 2. We've selected client value from drop down. 3. Now I've written a script for a new tab. 4. After that, I've to find facility field through ID but it shows element is not found, then could you please help me for the same?

Below approach might be helpful:

// Enter text in auto complete text box
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='client']")).sendKeys("Ho");

// Wait for options to display
Thread.sleep(5000);

// Option to select
String optionToSelect = "Honda";

Boolean isOptionSelected = Boolean.FALSE;

// Get the options displayed
List<WebElement> options = driver.findElements(By
        .cssSelector("ul.dropdown-menu a"));

// Select option
for (WebElement webElement : options) {
    if (webElement.getText().equalsIgnoreCase(optionToSelect)) {
        webElement.click();
        isOptionSelected = Boolean.TRUE;
    }
}

if (isOptionSelected) {
    // Option is selected
} else {
    // Expected option is not displayed. Fail the script
}

Try this:

Select drpCountry = new Select(driver.findElement(By.id("searchOptions")));
drpCountry.selectByVisibleText("By author");
